Proceedings 

of the 

Annual Meeting 

of the 

SOCIETY OF THE WAR OF 1812. 



1894. 

The Fortieth Annual Meeting of the Society of the War of 18 12 was held 
in Philadelphia, in the old U. S. Senate Chamber, Corner of Sixth and Chestnut 
Streets, on February 19, 1894. 

The meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. John Cadwalader, 
3t 4.30 P. M. 

The Secretary, Peter S. Hay, read the Minutes of the last Meeting of the 
Society, which upon motion were approved. The Secretary's report, of which 
the following is an abstract, was then read and approved. 

"Since the last annual meeting fifty-seven (57) gentlemen residing in 
fourteen (14) States of the Union have been admitted to membership, represent- 
ing the Army and Navy, as well as professional and mercantile life. The Com- 
mittee on Admissions has carefully refused to entertain the applications of ineligi- 
ble or unworthy persons. During the past year the long mooted project of 
organizing branches of this Society in other States has assumed a new phase, and 
in due time you will be called on to determine whether it is expedient to aid in 
the formation of a National Society, composed of delegates from several States. 

(84) 



85 

A committee of this Society has met the committees appointed by the Societies of 
the War of 1812, in New York and Maryland, and it will doubtless report to this 
Society the result of its negotiations. 

A very handsome Certificate of Membership has been prepared and is now 
ready for issue to members. 

The publication of the Year Book of the Society for the present year has 
been deferred until after the annual meeting, in order that it may contain the 
latest information concerning the officers, committees and an abstract of the 
proceedings of this meeting, for the benefit of our absent members. 

It having become necessary to procure a new supply of ribbon for the 
insignia of the Society, the Board of Direction considered it a suitable time to 
improve the appearance, as well as to make the colors of the ribbon historically 
correct, by the addition of a narrow outside edge of scarlet, thereby combining 
the various colors used in the Army and Navy uniforms of the United States, 
during the War of 18 12, and quite different from the ribbon of any other organi- 
zation in this country. 

At the same time, it was thought expedient to recommend a slight modifi- 
cation of the insignia. This can only be done by constitutional amendment. 
In the meantime, a design for an enameled badge, deviating but slightly from the 
original one in general outline, but much handsomer in all its details, has been 
recommended for adoption by the Board of Direction to the Society, pending the 
enforced delay of a constitutional amendment. 

It is proposed to dispense with the bar, and group the eighteen representa- 
tive stars in a circle around the central medallion, which, instead of an undistin- 
guishable miniature bust, wiil bear the legend " 1812" in figures of gold upon a 
background of dark blue. All the colors in the ribbon are duplicated in enamel 
on the medal, presenting a much handsomer effect and at less cost than the 
original insignia. 

For the purpose of establishing this Society upon a sound financial basis, 
without which no organization can flourish, the Board of Direction recommends 
that the rule creating a "permanent fund" be amended to include all entrance 
fees, life and endowed membership fees, in addition to gifts and legacies already 
provided for. 



86 

The finances have been managed with a due regard to economy and the 
best interests of the Society. 

The cash receipts during the past year were :

During the past year the Secretary has been notified of the death of six 
of its Veteran Members, viz : 

David H. Ames, (Ills.), aged 101 years, 7 months. 

Hezekiah Coon, (Iowa), aged 96 years. 

Samuel Packard, (Me.), aged 91 years. 

John W. Peavey, (Vt), aged 96 years, 3 months. 

Benjamin Poor, (N. H.), aged 97 years, 6 months. 

David J. Williams, (N. Y.), aged 99 years. 

Also Mr. Alfred \V. Frick, an old member on the list of descendants. 

Photographs of the following Veteran Members have been received : 

Moses Cleveland, Samuel Packard, Benjamin Poor, Thomas 
Spinney, Reynold Webb. 

The other members of the Society are urged to add to this collection by 
sending the photographs of their Veteran Ancestors, as well as their own. 

It has been suggested that this Society should take steps to rescue from 
oblivion the places upon, or in which, events of importance transpired during 
the War of 1812, by the erection of memorial tablets, and to see that the graves 
of Soldiers or Sailors of the War of 18 12 be appropriately remembered each year 
on Decoration Day." 

Nominations being in order, it was then moved and seconded that the 
Secretary be authorized to cast one ballot for the election of the following officers 
to serve for the ensuing year : 

President, 
John Cadwalader, Philadelphia, Pa.

Historian; Rev. Horace Edwin HaydEN, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., Chaplain, and 
James Varnum Peter Turner, of Philadelphia, Pa., Assistant Secretary of the 
Society. 

Captain H. H. Bellas, U. S. A., then moved the Society consider the 
advisability of the purchase of two large and fine engravings representing a first 
and second view of Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie, and offered for the 
inspection of the members. Mr. Charles W. Sparhawk seconded the motion, 
and the purchase was ordered at the price of $15 for both engravings. 

Dr. George H. Burgin moved that Section I of the Rules be amended by 
inserting therein after the word "legacies," the words "and by initiation, life 



88 

and endowed membership fees," and by adding at the end of the Section the 
words : ' ' This permanent fund shall be invested in such manner as may be deter- 
mined upon by the Board of Direction. ' ' 

After debate, and a decision by the Chair that the rules could be modified 
by a vote of the Society, at the same meeting, (not being a part of the Constitu- 
tion), Dr. Burgin's motion was carried unanimously. 

Captain Bellas then submitted an amendment to Article VIII, of the Consti- 
tution, for a proposed change in the insignia, which had been approved by the Board 
of Direction and recommended to the Society for adoption ; providing that the first 
clause thereof should read as follows : ' ' The insignia of the Society shall consist 
of a badge of gold, (or bronze) , pendant from a ribbon. Said badge shall be in 
the form of a Maltese cross, (emblematic of faith in the justice of our cause), be- 
tween four (4) golden eagles, (symbolizing the four sections — north, south, east 
and west — of our common country), and resting upon an anchor of gold, (repre- 
sentative of the American Navy, by which so many glorious victories of the War 
of 18 12 were achieved). The arms of the cross to be enameled in scarlet with a 
white border, and to bear the insignia in gold of the four (4) arms of service, 
(infantry, cavalry, artillery and naval), and in the center thereof, a medallion of 
dark blue enamel with the figures 18 12 thereon in gold, surrounded by a band of 
black enamel, bearing eighteen (18) stars in gold, representing the number of 
States of the Union during the period of conflict. The anchor and cross to be 
suspended from the ribbon by a ring of gold, (or bronze). The ribbon shall be 
of watered silk, dark blue in the center, with white and black stripes on the sides 
successively and edged with scarlet ; the entire ribbon to be one and one-half 
inches in width and the same dimensions in displayed length." 

It was ordered that the proposed amendment be placed on file, to be 
brought up, under Article XI, of the Constitution, at the next stated meeting of 
the Society, for final action thereon. 

On motion, the Secretary was then directed to read for the information of 
the members, the reports of the Conference Committee of the Society in regard to 
the question of union with other Societies of the War of 18 12 ; and of which the 
following is a compendium : 

After reviewing the correspondence held with the New York and Maryland 
Societies, as to the time and place of meeting, and stating that a joint conference 



89 

■was held with a delegation of the latter named Society in Philadelphia, on October 
30th, 1893, for an interchange of opinion, the report adds: "that after careful 
investigation, it was ascertained that the Maryland Society now contains sixty-five 
{65) active members, with bright prospects of a rapid increase of members; that it 
has had a continuous existence from its original organization, and that there had 
been no lapse in its existence in 1886, as had been alleged. Also that at this time, 
it has on its rolls still one member living, who participated in the War of 18 12, 
and consequently comes under the provisions of the Act of Congress of September 
25th, 1890, which provides for the recognition and wearing of the insignia of such 
Societies by officers of the Army and Navy, who are members thereof." 

A proposed ' ' basis of union ' ' was submitted and agreed upon by all the 
members of the delegations of the two Societies represented in the joint conference, 
with the exception of one dissenting vote. The committee then asked for a con- 
tinuance until the preliminary meeting of the Board of Direction of the Society in 
January next, in order to allow opportunity to confer with the committee from the 
New York Society which had failed to be represented at the previous conference, 
on the plea of lack of sufficient notice of the meeting. Approved. 

The second report of the said Committee of Conference to the Board of 
Direction of the Society, at its meeting on January 31st last, stated "that since the 
preceding report was submitted, the Association of Descendants of Defenders in 
1812-14, in Baltimore, Md., had formerly ratified the 'basis of union' proposed, 
and had been regularly incorporated in conformity with the plan therein set forth 
and agreed upon, as 'The Society of the War of 1812, in Maryland;' that their 
rules of eligibility, dues and newly adopted constitution had been modeled on the 
lines laid down in this Society, that one or more additional Veterans of the War 
had been added to their rolls, and the Society was rapidly increasing in its member- 
ship with descendants of a most worthy and desirable character." Further proofs 
were presented by the officers of the Maryland Society in response to requests, 
showing conclusively the fact of its continuous existence, and notice was given 
our Society of the selection of duly authorized delegates, who were directed to be 
present at the joint convention proposed to be held at an early day. 

An informal conference was also held on January 20th, by a sub-committee 
in New York City, with the committee of the New York Society, which confer- 
ence, while not so conclusive as that held with the Maryland Society, was in the 



90 

main, satisfactory, and after a full and frank discussion, a union with the New 
York Society was not deemed improbable. The New York Society, though only 
recently organized and incorporated, has been made the continuous successor of 
one composed of Veterans of 1812, and claiming to date from 1826. It thus comes 
also under the provisions of the Act of Congress already cited. A delegation from 
each of the two State Societies named, to meet with that of our own Society, is 
expected to be present at the joint convention proposed to be held in Philadelphia, 
for a final decision of the whole question.* 

Mr. Charles H. Murray, of New York, then stated that at the last meet- 
ing of the Board of Direction, the following resolution was offered and passed : 
Resolved, That the Board of Direction of the General Society of the War of 18 12, 
recommend the adoption of the reports of the said Committee on Conference for 
the union of the various Societies of the War of 18 12 in other States, and the 

*The proposed basis of union, alluded to above, provides :

convention, 
a. For the formation of a National Society, to be known as the General Society of the War

constitution. 

3. That the said General Society shall meet biennially, in Philadelphia or such place as may

election of five delegates from the Society of the War of 1812 in the State of 
Pennsylvania, to meet delegates from similar Societies in other States, with power 
to represent this Society and report the result of their conference for further action 
of the Society, at an adjourned meeting thereof. That resolution having been 
passed by the Board of Direction at its last meeting and with the recommendation 
of the Board to our General Society to act upon it, he now brought the matter up 
for discussion and action. 

The question of the advisability of union on a reasonable basis with other 
State Societies, already existing, and adoption of the plan proposed, viz : The 
election of delegates from this Society to meet those from other States in joint 
convention was freely discussed by Colonel J. Biddle Porter, C. W. Sparhawk, 
Charles Williams, F. M. Brooke, E. C. Lee, Captain H. H. Bellas and others. 

On motion of Reynold W. Wilcox, M. D., of New York, it was then moved 
to proceed to the election of delegates to meet in joint convention with those of 
other States, and that the delegates be directed to report back to the Society at an 
adjourned meeting, to be held not later than the fifteenth of March next. 

Mr. Charles Murray, of New York, seconded the motion, but moved to 
amend by making the adjourned meeting subject to the call of the chair. 

The motion, as amended, was adopted. 

The following gentleman were then elected delegates to the joint conven- 
tion proposed, being a majority of the former Conference Committee : 

Colonel John Biddle Porter, Appleton Morgan, LL. D., Captain H. H. 
Bellas, U. S. A., Charles H. Murray, George H. Burgin, M. D. 

The following gentlemen were elected as alternates : 

William Chetwood Spencer, Charles Williams, Charles W. Sparhawk, 
Adam A. Stull, Edward R. Shubrick. 

The Chair then announced the receipt of a memoir of Joel Barlow Suther- 
land, the first President of the Society, written by Brigadier General Charles 
Sutherland, U. S. Army, the Historian of the Society for the preceding year. It 
was ordered, on motion, that the address be referred to the incoming Board of 
Direction to report the advisability of printing it for distribution to the members 
of the Society, and with power to act. 

On motion of Captain Bellas, a vote of thanks of the Society was tendered 
Mr. Joseph T. Bailey for the great interest he had manifested in the welfare of 



92 

the Society, and in the many favors he had extended to it ; among others, having 
had a card of membership engraved, a copy printed therefrom and presented to 
every member of the Society free of charge. Motion carried. 

On motion of Charles Williams, the thanks of the Society were tendered 
to Peter Stuart Hay, the former Secretary, for his past services, (he now volun- 
tarily retiring from office), and on motion of Dr. George H. Burgin, a committee 
was appointed to draw up a series of resolutions to that effect. 

Mr. Hay returned his thanks to the members of the Society. 

A vote of thanks to the stenographer for his services was also passed. 

A communication from the Ladies' Hermitage Association, of Nashville, 
Tennessee, was reported and directed to be referred to the Board of Direction. 

On motion, the Society then adjourned to meet at the call of the Chair.
